Closed UCHF short for +20, was up +35 and was going for +54 (taking TP from sub on daily), but decided I didn't like the retrace and closed out for the guaranteed win.

Yeah, saw the 123, euro gaining strength against the gbp, and big item for me was the fact that the euro had only made it half way to it's 5 day average range. S/R was a factor too, as well as trend lines for me.

Nice graphic. 123's are alive and well.

Did you take any of the trades before the one you have marked 2 hours after NY open?

Today's set up 2 hours after NY open had many pluses going for it. I've made a 15 minute video showing what I saw as far as what made this a near perfect trading opportunity.

Should anyone have any comments, positive or not, please don't hold back. We're all trying to do our best and if you notice any errors on my part, I'd like to know.

So grab some popcorn, put on some slippers, and I'll see you at the movies!

I took this trade this morning for a loss. At the time the my only concern was that the EurUsd had already made it daily range (approx 150 pip) and the pull back was only 17 pips or so.

Can anybody comment on what I might have done wrong?

Hey FG. The only thing I see is:
• That price had dropped 80 pips without a real pull back.
• Also if you look for support nothing really shows up until 1.4126.
And an observation I've made, especially regarding the EU & GU, is that Daily Range tends to play more of a role after 10-10:30 NY time. Neither pair "Go Home Early", as a general practice.

price moved from 4420 area to 4200 area you need a bigger pullback than 17 pips

I heard a few people asking about trade manager and the fast reaction needed on the 1 min chart here is a tool i use. It is free and works gr8. It allows management of 6 trades individually or all together. You won't be disapointed. Displays all profit and loss individually and as a group. You can preset SL and TP automatically at order placement ( no rushing around to set SL) You can manage by pips or dollars. which i like dollar management.

Its called one clicker
